Marine Conditions:

The Caribbean Sea

Convection associated with an upper-level cyclonic circulation over Cuba has generally diminished overnight. The east Pacific monsoon trough is enhancing scattered moderate to isolated strong convection over the SE Caribbean, mainly S of 14N. Otherwise mainly dry conditions prevail. See the Special Features section above for information on the potential for heavy rain in the far NE Caribbean from Tropical Storm Josephine today and Mon as it passes N and E of the basin. Moderate trades exist across most of the basin, with some locally fresh east winds occurring off the coast of Colombia.

Tropical Josephine will pass well north of the Leeward and Virgin Islands today and tonight, then move farther away from the area Mon. Moderate to fresh trade winds will continue across the south- central Caribbean through early week, with strongest winds expected near the coast of Colombia and in the Gulf of Venezuela. A strong tropical wave is forecast to cross the Windward Islands late today into early Mon, then reside in the eastern Caribbean early this week, where it has a low chance of tropical formation in the next 5 days.

Kyle and Josephine in Atlantic Basin

Tropical Storm Josephine is heading out into the Atlantic.

A westward-moving tropical wave located about 1,050 miles east of #Barbados is currently producing limited shower and thunderstorm activity. However, upper-level winds are expected to become a little more conducive for development by the middle of next week as the disturbance approaches the central and southern islands

Not a lot happening round us at present, the Caribbean winds with cloud building are coming in from the east. There was a bit of high level from the west over central belize over night. The midday sun is now passing over to the south of vertical, so we have recently passed our second mid summer, temperatures should start to be dropping in the next few weeks

Looks as if today will be mainly sunny, with significant cloud, there could be some rain showers this afternoon.

Temperatures in Belmopan : ( Coast usually cooler, hills even cooler )
Last night min. 25°C 78°F Yesterday max. 32°C 89°F Yesterday Rain 1.5 mm ( 0.06")
